Hominy: The Heart of Traditional Pozole & Menudo
Hominy, also known as white maize, is the foundation of iconic Mexican dishes like Menudo and Pozole, a hearty hominy stew with ancient roots. To the Aztecs, maize was sacred, and pozole was served only during rituals and important celebrations. Today, it’s still a beloved holiday meal, bringing families together across generations.
What makes hominy unique? These large, puffy kernels are made by soaking dried corn in an alkaline solution, giving them a soft yet chewy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. You might recognize the texture, they’re the same kind of kernels used to make crunchy corn nuts!
Whether you’re cooking a rich pozole for a holiday or just enjoying a cozy Saturday meal, hominy adds authentic flavor, texture, and tradition to every bowl.
